The solution is not to give a gap closer, but to expand on these skills to give them more uses than they currently do.
In A10S, Tempered Will and Holmgang can be used to cheese any short ranged red segment of a Single/Double/Triple Charge which usually leads to no need to disengage from the boss.

The biggest limits to Tempered Will use in most fights is that knockbacks are either completely avoidable at no loss of DpS or come multiple times in a three minute period.
